Facebook beta testing online publisher ‘kill switch’ – will sites be blocked if they don’t promote official propaganda?
‘Over the last several days, Facebook has been beta testing a “kill switch” that caused articles from online publishers to be blocked from social sharing. Complaints poured in to Natural News and other independent publishers such as Western Journalism, which wrote an article entitled Multiple Reports: Facebook Blocking Links To Online Publishers.
“Western Journalism received several messages from users who stated they were unable to share or view our content. At the same time, social media users began venting their frustration via Twitter posts,” says the article. “Another conservative publisher, National Review, also noticed a steep decline in visits.”‘
